Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev Goswami Maharaj
Krishna’s divine will is in the background of everything that exists. And when one comes in connection with that paramount power, that original plane of reality, he will not have any care; he will become fearless,
mayasantusta-manasah sarvah sukha-maya disah
(Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.14.13)
“You were born of Nectar, to taste Nectar. Do not allow yourself to be satisfied by anything else but nectar”
One day will come when our egoistic feeling will dissolve and from within, our real self, a member of the infinite world, will spring up and awaken, and we will find ourselves in the sweet waves of that environment. There, everything is sweet. The breeze is sweet, the water is sweet, the trees are sweet, whatever we come in contact with is sweet, sweet, sweet.
“To find the key to the proper world where life is worth living, you’ll have to dive deep into the reality that is within you”
“OM means a big YES. What you are searching for that is. Don’t be disappointed”
“Actually everything is divine. It is all the grace of the Lord but we can’t see it; rather we see the opposite. The dirt is in our eyes”
“Our tendency at present is to cure what we see on the outside. But we must take the opposite attitude to recover”
“This illusory world is full of variety and movement, and above is the non-differentiated plane of the Absolute. But on the other side, there is again a differentiated and specified world, beyond sense perception”
“The body is the biological expression of the soul’s misconception”
“Suspicion and hesitation are the worst enemies. We may be near to the truth, but our suspicious nature deceives us. We must begin our work of conquering all those mental encasement we are living in”
“It is not possible for the eternal to find fulfillment in the temporal. Belief of a life of prospect in the subtle domain of faith”
“The quality of the truth is measured by the degree and intensity of our surrender to it – to the point of no return”.
“Apprehension and uncertainty are always troubling you; you must cross beyond them, go up, and you will find sivam – no apprehension, but the positive life”
“Humility means ‘to not encroach on the rights of others.’ And also, it should not be such as to kill one’s own self. It must be natural”
“A guide, sadhu-sanga, is the most important factor in the life of a bona fide seeker of the truth”
“Slavery to the Absolute is the highest position of freedom”
“Extreme hankering for the truth is in itself happiness”
